Both of you are assuming this is "Blue Ray" that is the issue too. Game 
systems, I think, can output in native 120Hz, and computers certainly 
can and *must* in some cases, if you want decent video. If you are 
running 3D shutter glasses through them, then its mandatory, etc. And, 
that looks like something coming up soon with Blue Ray. Also, you are 
assuming that Blue Ray isn't using the full Hz, if available, which 
might be true of the cheaper units, but.. I wouldn't bet on it a) being 
that way with all of them, or b) staying that way.
